Check the vacuum hose going to the Econ. switch (mounted on the bulkhead)for any signs of splits/cuts.

Check the wiring harness to the switch for signs of corrosion on the terminals.

OR YOU CAN TAKE THE BULB OUT OF THE DASH !!!!

On UK spec.vehicles - open the bonnet and it should be located to the right hand side of the Clutch Master Cylinder - small black plastic sensor held onto the bulkhead/firewall by a M6 set screw.

On non-UK spec.vehicles,I guess it would be a mirror image of our's - Left hand side of the Master Cyl.
